Sea Spray Blanc de Noirs Sta. Rita Hills Sparkling Pinot Noir 2018

These are getting better. The last one I had was a bit wound up but this one was expressing juicy flavors of cherry and ginger with fine bubbles. — 3 months ago

Bevan Cellars

Dry Stack Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2022

An amazing Sauvignon Blanc with a great potential to age, enticing citrus notes with some powerful yet not overwhelming tropical fruit flavors. Great wood notes make this one very distinctive and expressive white from Sonoma. A bit hazy with some sediments which fall almost into a natural category of wines. However; it’s meant to improve as it ages. A bit not so common for a white from this region. Paired with seafood (salmon and tuna fish). Solid! — 3 months ago

Bryant Family Vineyard

Bettina Proprietary Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

It's very deep and dense in color and has beautiful aromatics. Shows power and grace at the same time. Very Margaux like. It needs another five years at a minimum.. Could go another ten easily. — 3 months ago

Found this beautiful barolo bottle in napa. On nose its fresh red fruits like strawberries, raspberries, some leather, floral, herbs, ans earthy

On palate, its so intense, long finish, still fresh, the tannins mellowed, i believe this still have 5 more years of cellaring. Delicious wine. Cheers!
